Christianborg Palace is unique in that actually houses rooms that are used by the monarchy, the…read moreSupreme Court, the Prime Minister and the Parliament. For the purposes of tourists, only the royal section related to the monarchy is open for exploration. The ticket that you purchase depends on how many parts of the royal section you wish to visit:
1) Reception room - where the Queens holds meetings
2) Royal Stables - where the horses and carriages are held
3) Royal Kitchen - where the meals are prepared
4) Ruins - the ruins underneath the castle
If you have more time, you can see all of them. For me, the best part was easily the Reception area, where you will see many rooms constructed with very colorful and exquisite architecture and filled with luxurious paintings, furniture, and tapestries. This area is so fancy they actually make all visitors wear blue shoe covers to protect the floors. It is also worth it to go up the tower (free entry) where you get amazing views of the city.
